Yes. I was thinking the same thing about the idiot headline. The Immaculate Conception has nothing to do with the conception of Jesus.

I'm surprised that nobody has Photoshopped a small halo around the head of the baby anteater.

Then again, maybe the father is "Mechanteater".

Rumor has it that you can tell the length of an anteaters schlong by how big his nose is.

“The sudden appearance of little Archie was a surprise, to say the least.

I would expect Archie to be offspring of the non-female kind.
